System and method for transmitting surveillance signals from multiple units to a number of points

摘要

A communication device for relaying data associated with a surveillance system is envisioned. The communication device has a plurality of inputs for communicatively coupling the communication device with a plurality of surveillance sensors, each of the plurality of inputs associated with one of a plurality of surveillance sensor data streams. Also present is a wireless communication system for inputting and outputting a data stream, the data stream being directed to another remote wireless communication device. This data stream contains the surveillance sensor data. The communication device also has a communication junction communicatively coupled to the wireless communication device and the plurality of inputs. The communication junction coalesces the data from the plurality of inputs into the data stream. The communication junction also retrieves individual surveillance sensor data from the data stream, and directs the particular surveillance sensor data stream to a particular one of the plurality of inputs.
